After Earth (2013)

After Earth Synopsis

A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.

Ah, After Earth: the film so disastrous that Will Smith even admits that it was a piece of shit. Considering the man made Seven Pounds, that's saying something; though his remarks on the film have nothing compared to the roasting CinemaSins gives it inside. Watch and enjoy!

The Razzies might as well be called the Easy Target Awards. Any time a Kardashian wins something, you are just begging for a headline, and not really commenting on the craft – or lack thereof – associated with the art of movie making. T

From The Hangover Part III to Much Ado About Nothing and much, much more, there's actually a nice hodgepodge of films and television from a variety of different genres available this week. You can check out some of the other October 8 titles after the jump.

If you are still on the M. Night Shyamalan bandwagon—apparently, such a thing does still exist--the After Earth release may be a good film to add to your collection. Fans of the director or the film will find a decent array of bonus features with both the Blu-ray and DVD sets of the film, although Blu-ray copies will come with a few additional featurettes. The big highlight with the set is a “never-before-seen” version of the opening sequence of the film

Joss Whedon fans will probably be the first to point out that "no sound in space" was one of the cool details featured the short-lived series Firefly, which had only music playing over scenes taking place outside of a spaceship. But maybe Shyamalan can excuse it all with explanations about new technologies in the future. After all, it is science fiction.

The sixth entry in the Fast & Furious franchise continued not only to outperform all the previous the series but also everything else in theaters. Adding $34 million to its now $170 million domestic total, Fast & Furious 6 held on to the number one spot for a second week, trumping two newcomers that came with big name casts and high expectations.

Given some poor tracking, Jaden Smith’s unproven box office record and the incredible popularity of Fast & Furious 6, many experts went into this weekend willing to admit the young star’s After Earth might lose the money battle this weekend to the likeable holdover. If Friday’s estimates are any indication, not only is that definitely going to happen, there’s a distinct possibility the flick will also lose to Now You See Me

This week we'd like to welcome you back to Earth and show you a magic trick in three acts. That's right, this week sees two major non-franchise releases so we thought we'd touch on them both. Magical caper Now You See Me leads us off followed up by a discussion of M. Night Shyamalan's newest Smith-family joint.

It looks like Now You See Me has already pulled a box office rabbit out of its figurative hat, by topping After Earth at the box office on Thursday night. The Summit film arrived in theaters last night and managed to bring in $1.5 million for its Thursday night haul, a half-million more than was earned by After Earth, which took in $1 million.

A couple weeks ago I flew out to Las Cruses, New Mexico and after a short helicopter ride into the middle of the desert landed at the Virgin Galactic Spaceport. While I didn’t get the chance to take a trip into the stratosphere, I did sit down with stars Will and Jaden Smith to talk about their new movie.

If this trailer left you a little lost raise your hand. I get the basic premise: four magicians perform bank robberies during their shows and Robin Hood-style give all the money they take back to audience members. Except that the trick they’re doing with robberies isn’t really the trick at all. The trick they’re doing is something more than the really big trick and we don’t know exactly what it is, or what it’s about because the illusions they create are meant to hide the motivations...

It looks like we'll be getting to see M. Night Shyamalan's sci-fi film After Earth a little bit sooner than expected. Sony has moved the release date of the movie up a week, setting the new date at May 31, which puts it up against Louis Leterrier's Now You See Me and horror-thriller The Purge. Had it stayed where it was, After Earth would have been squaring off against Shawn Levy's comedy The Internship.

And so what do viewers get from the M. Night Shyamalan film? (That’s a phrase that used to inspire a certain amount of anticipation, if you guys can remember back that far.) Well After Earth offered up a 30-second spot completely edited from the second trailer, and they forgot to keep it exciting.

As promised, the new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi action adventure film After Earth has arrived today. It introduces us to Jaden Smith's character, Kitai, a reckless young ranger who faces a major challenge when his space ship crash lands on an abandoned Earth. Tasked with saving himself and his injured father Cypher (Will Smith), Kitai must survive the harsh elements, uncharted terrain and various beasts that are especially lethal to humans. There's also a mysterious alien creature out to get him. Welcome to earth.

With the June release of Columbia Pictures' sci-fi adventure film After Earth approaching, we should probably anticipate seeing a bit more from the film on the promotion front in the coming months. This week, that includes a new trailer, which is set to arrive tomorrow. In anticipation of Thursday's new trailer, some new stills from the film have made their way online, showing us stars Will and Jaden Smith.

It would seem that movie-goers don’t want our stars looking us in the eye anymore. We just want it quick, dirty, and, most importantly, from behind. Don’t believe me? Well, let’s do some quick mental time travel...

Following the unveiling of the official After Earth website, which offers a bit of information on Jaden Smith's character and the background for the story set to be told in the film, a new poster has made its way online, which reminds us of the dangers that await the lead characters in this story.

Earlier this month, we saw the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi adventure film After Earth. While we still have until June to wait for the film to arrive in theaters, the website for the movie gives us a bit more information about Jaden Smith's character. And those who want to immerse themselves further into the story ahead of the feature's release might check out the first novella that's been released.

When a movie is directed by M. Night Shyamalan you might expect a twist somewhere near the end, but a twist right there in the trailer? That's some next-level shit. The first trailer for the Will Smith-Jaden Smith collaboration After Earth has arrived online, and takes you all over this lush but deadly planet that the father and son have crash landed on before dealing the twisty blow in the end.

What led to mankind leaving Earth? That's the topic tackled in a new video release by Sony that charts the events leading up to humanity's global evacuation through Facebook's timeline. If you're groaning, that's a totally understandable response.

Headed into theaters next summer (June 7, 2013) is M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth, a sci-fi film that'll have Will and Jaden Smith once again teamed up as father and son. The After Earth panel here at Comic Con in San Diego will not only focus on the upcoming movie, but also the comic book After Earth: Innocence, which will introduce Smiths' characters Kitai and Cypher Raige.

the reunion of the Smith men-- they co-starred in The Pursuit of Happyness, you may remember-- isn't even the most intriguing part of this sci-fi project. It's also the next film from M. Night Shyamalan, who turned a Best Director nomination for The Sixth Sense into an increasingly baffling and critically maligned career

Stephen Gaghan and Gary Whitta post-apocalyptic screenplay finds a father and son crash landing on an alien planet, where they fight to survive and figure out of there’s anything left of the human race. Eventually, there will be a moment where the son, an untested warrior, has to rise to the challenge of rescuing his father from danger. I pray he shouts, “Aw, HELL no!” during the dramatic action sequence. Like father, like son.

Furhman has a role in the upcoming potential mega-hit The Hunger Games, and if you see here there you might not recognize her-- she's all grown up now at 14, and looks almost nothing like the little girl who terrorized Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard. But make sure and get a good look at her in The Hunger Games because Fuhrman is an actress going places
